Since I last wrote, things have taken a turn for the worst, health wise.  My foot is doing much better but now my stomach is acting up big time.  I dropped to 115 lbs last week from not keeping anything down.  I tried not to eat much either.  My stomach is in pain big time.  I’m really nauseous and therefore don’t eat because I don’t want to bring anything up again.  But when I do eat, my stomach hurts so badly and I have so much gas build up.  They wanted me to do an abdominal CT.  I cancelled it because I thought I was doing better.  However last Friday was the worst pain in my life.  I ate two small slices of pizza and then got Burger King because I was trying to reefed my system…plus I was REALLY hungry.  But then I had the worst cramping pain in my life.  I left work early yesterday from it.  I have missed so much work within these last few weeks from either my foot or my stomach.  Come Monday I’m going to ask them to refer me back to the CT scan of the abdomen and then I’ll schedule blood work for something called H. Pylori bacterium that becomes over abundant in  your system and can cause damage. 

My ankle hurts the worst in the morning.  But it stops hurting after a few hours on it, that I am grateful for.  I don’t need my ankle bothering me when my stomach is doing it’s own thing to mess up my life.  I have stopped the exercises for Plantar Fascitis because it’s been doing better.  I have an appointment with Dr. Murawski, my orthopedic doctor on Friday of next week. 

For my stomach they gave me Prilosec and a suppository for nausea, all of which are not helping.  I have been taking Beano today to help what I think may be causing the issues…gas build-up, but I’m not sure.  I also have anti-nausea gum, which is made of Ginger and tastes nasty.  I also was taking Motion Sickness tablets too to help with all this.  All of the above is doing nothing for my system.  The beano I believe is helping but I’m still is quite a bit of pain. 

I’m seeing this new therapist, no longer seeing Dr. Theo Carroll for the eating disorder, but this new therapist for bi-polar disorder.  I took my husband with me for this last visit on Thursday.  It went well, but he thinks my stomach issues are due to the dormant eating disorder mindset.  Which he could be partially right, but he doesn’t live in my body and he doesn’t feel my pain.  I do.  I know it’s not eating disorder what with the pain and all.  I know that for a fact, and he made me upset when he said that he believed it was in my mind, or at least some of it was anyway.  He is right to his own opinion, but still it hurt.  I have been not acting on eating disorder way since beginning of October 2011.  So yes, it hurt when he said this all to me during the session.  I really think there is an underlying issue with my stomach.  I’d like to get it checked out, but this upcoming week I will be the sole teacher in my classroom of 4 years olds.  So I can’t make calls or anything like that, I need to be with them at all times.  But during my lunch I will talk to them hopefully they will be willing to work with me about this all.
